Ingredients:
- 50g of vegetable oil
- 50g of milk
- 68g of low protein cake flour (7-9% protein, specifically around 8%)
- 4 large eggs (approx. 55g each), separated
- 35g of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 120g of heavy cream
- 60g of cream cheese
- 20g of sugar
Steps:
- Begin by separating the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls.
- Combine vegetable oil and milk in a bowl. Mix in the cake flour and a bit of red food coloring until smooth. Stir in the egg yolks and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- To the egg whites, add lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer until you achieve soft peaks. Take a portion of this mixture, enhance it with more red food coloring, and blend well. Place this colored mixture into a piping bag and draw heart shapes on your prepared tray. Bake these designs for 1 minute.
- Gently fold the rest of the batter into the whipped egg whites, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. Pour it onto the baking tray, smoothing the top. Tap to remove air bubbles, and bake at 302°F (150°C) for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, whip the cream cheese, heavy cream, and sugar together until thick.
- Once baked, cool the cake on a rack before removing it from the pan. Flip the cake onto parchment paper, peel off the baking mat, then spread the whipped cream on the cake's surface. Roll it up, wrap in parchment, and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Slice and enjoy this divine creation!
